Thank you for your letter and for sharing information about the spread of pyramid recruiting schemes in your country.

The spread of such schemes accelerates when people lack authoritative information about how the schemes operate and their dire financial consequences. Victims are usually silent, and their silence is reinforced by failure of governments to prosecute and news media to investigate. They tend to blame themselves for their losses.

The cycle of fraud can be countered by public exposure of the fraudulent business model of these schemes and by public education about the true facts of their harm. This exposure in turn often breaks the silence of victims as well, allowing the truth to spread person to person.

I would be pleased to accept your invitation, pending details. I did travel to Sri Lanka to speak to the Central Bank at a conference that involved representatives of several other countries, including India and Bangladesh. I assisted the Sri Lankan government in writing its first anti-pyramid scheme law. I also aided the country of China in its enactment of the anti-MLM law. And, I worked with the public television news of Canada to expose a major pyramid scheme sweeping through that country. This work subsequently led to criminal fraud charges brought against the scheme's founder.

I commend your interest in countering the spread of pyramids in Malaysia. Pyramid schemes, disguised as businesses or investment programs, attack a country's cultural and social life and drain its economy, harming the huge numbers of people who can least afford the losses.

I can't keep my laughing while reading comments between pro and con army.... bring it on guys... i still remember one of my friend promote this product before when my friend having nightmare. don't know apa kaitan dia, biodisc dgn nightmare... hahaha

the thing is Mr. Aidid here is doing such an excellent work. you know why? because they're pissed off.. but malays and malaysian in general look up to this mat saleh people like these guys are next to god. standby mode dulu, if these scammers pressed on, we shall have our own cannon! AM here mmg dah mcm batman the dark knight. not the hero we deserve, but the kind of hero that we need. a lot of ppl are inspired

What an excellent step in eradicating MLM-PS disease in Malaysia. Nevertheless, you need more support from anti-MLMers.

For the past 1 year some of readers here (i believe from other anti-MLM group as well) has been urging Aidid and others to show more concrete action in combating MLM-PS. However, considering our socioeconomic and political circumstances, fighting MLM-PS in Malaysia would offer a different scenario compare to Sri Lanka, etc. It is an uphill task. Seriousness is one issue. Strong financial and political support are another big hurdles to face.

Who knows, inviting Patrick would trigger and transform our anti-MLM movement to the next level? Actions speaks louder than words.

sangat menyokong tindakan menjemput Fitzpatrick dtg bg talk ke sini tp mcm Leo ckp tadi, kite have to know when to hit the button as the canon already with us. Kalau nk buat donation utk this case, please put the bank account number and i swear i will put my money in it for the sake of Ummah... i am confident my money will give pahala to me. We can discuss this later.

Betul la Fitzpatrick ckp dlm email,

'Victims are usually silent, and their silence is reinforced by failure of governments to prosecute and news media to investigate. They tend to blame themselves for their losses.'

Fully agree with ska. The time has come for us to go on the offense. To attack, we need money (flight and board for guest speakers, legal costs, adverts, management). Just announce an account no. and see if the commenters/readers here that are really serious.

Also, we need prominent persons to back us. Since they use Islam, we need prominent ustazs to help our cause. We also need to include prominent lawyers, economists, politicians etc. too. Maybe even someone from BNM?

if we want to do this, it is possible sangat. there are a few organisations that can host this on their names, other blogs, other NGOs, consumer group, community association that would be glad to collaborate on this event. not to mention the contributions (monetory, time & energy) from all sorts of people, including readers of this blog, silent readers or not.

and let's not forget the media. they can help us with this. surely there are members of the blog yang working with newspapers publications, media prima and other media entity that could help organised this thing.

i'm just saying, if we want to this, then we will. it's time we rally together and stand out for our country, against a select few corrupt people in their principle (beyond salvation dah dol, would a scammer stop scamming people if he/she stands to lose everything from it?)

kalo ade yang keje ngan bank negara, or have mr. najib's ears as his privilege, tell him he can win a few votes from this. god bless AM & the people who stand up and speak up

hello guys. it`s been quite a while since my last comments here. Stayed in a remote island a couple of months back to nature lifestyle turning off communication from the world! Pure heaven! About the fitzpatrick talk, count me in bradah. Now already back to capital city. Huh i never felt so dizzy with all the massive people and bloody traffic jams everywhere hehehe.

I've been on sabbatical for the last year or so. Did some studies and finish some other personal stuff. Now, I'm heading back home, with a new outlook, and hopefully with a better temperament. This blog is currently going through an overhaul - I'm cleaning it up from all the curses and foul words. Yes, some articles are missing - they'll be re-posted soon. Once I'm finished with the spring-cleaning, maybe I'll start writing some new articles again. New topics. Well, maybe...
